When I was in Japan they sure knew who Elvis was and tried to look like him with the hairstyles.

Yes they knew who MJ was too but Japanese Elvis's cracked me up !!

During their day, children were stopped from seeing both.

Elvis because he swiveled his hips like a black boy, and mj because he swiveled his hips into black boys..
